Residents across the UAE can expect a cool and rainy start to the week, as the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts light rainfall on Monday morning, January 26, amid an ongoing cold spell.
According to the NCM, temperatures are set to dip slightly, with generally comfortable conditions across the country. Monday’s weather will be partly cloudy to cloudy, particularly over coastal, northern, and eastern regions, as well as over the sea. Light rain is expected during the morning hours.
Temperatures are not expected to exceed 26°C nationwide. Dubai may see lows of around 16°C, while Abu Dhabi temperatures could drop to 15°C.
Humidity levels will increase at night and into Tuesday morning in some coastal and internal areas, raising the possibility of mist formation.
Winds will be light to moderate, blowing from the northeast to northwest at speeds of 10–25 km/h, occasionally strengthening and causing blowing dust. Sea conditions will be rough in the morning, easing to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and becoming moderate to slight in the Oman Sea.
RTA warn motorists of wet conditions
Meanwhile, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has urged motorists to exercise caution while driving in wet conditions, stressing that simple safety measures can help protect road users during periods of heavy rainfall.
The advisory comes as rain and strong winds are expected to affect parts of the UAE on Monday, according to the National Center of Meteorology (NCM). Hail was reported early in the morning in Al Rams and northern areas of Ras Al Khaimah, with videos circulating on social media showing hail showers at dawn.
Overnight rainfall was also recorded in parts of Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah, while scattered showers in Al Ain brought cooler temperatures and some relief as unstable weather conditions continued across the country’s northern and eastern regions.
